Low review scores of any AAA video game, especially games that are part of a series, tend to result in a lot of anger from fans. For instance, give a Legend of Zelda title anything less than a 9/10 and you'll be on the receiving end o...

In 2007, Austrian film director and screenwriter Michael Haneke released an American shot-for-shot remake of his 1997 film Funny Games. The plot in both versions of the film was simple: two young men torture an upper-class family, bot...

Did you ever watch, listen to, or read something just so you could get mad at it? Just so you could feel a bit better about yourself? I know I do! All the time! I was reading Destructoid site mascot Jonathan Holmes' fantastic column on w...

In this special episode of Mystic Advice Something Something Something or Other (You Know the Drill), also called MASSIVECOCK (Name change? It was always like that!), I make an online dating profile while narrating it for you! Don't say t...

I managed to drag myself out of my depressed stupor long enough to record an episode! Go me! On this episode of Magic Advice Service Supporting Individuals, Video-games, Excited Couples, Or Crazy Killers: Willen Dafoe is a toilet gnome, C...

In this episode of Magic Advice Service Supporting Individuals, Video-games, Excited Couples, Or Crazy Killers, The Beast of Bray Road fights The Gravy Witch, I'm sad that I can't play any of my Steam games, and Chris Carter is threatene...

I'm taking questions for the third episode of my podcast Magic Advice Service Supporting Individuals, Video-Games, Excited Couples, Or Crazy Killers (M.A.S.S.I.V.E.C.O.C.K.). Ask anything you want, whether it be for advice, about me, or j...

This week I talk about lots of anime, Crispin Glover works with ostriches, jerks off in silicon valley, and becomes the Corndog King while Tim Allen fucks a ham. I take questions about poop, hot dogs, and Lightning Returns. Woohoo! Downl...

The title is "Magic Advice Service Supporting Individuals, Video-games, Excited Couples, or Crazy Killers," or "M.A.S.S.I.V.E.C.O.C.K." for short. I'll be taking questions from any topic. Anything from video games ("How do I beat Ninja G...

This week Zombie Orwell somehow managed to scrape together a semi-coherent podcast from our glitchy Skype conversation. Willem Dafoe is a little monster, Occam explains fuck pigs, we create a new supervillain, and I get to chat with a ti...

This week Occam couldn't make it, so we got DOUBLE GUESTS instead! Orwell and I are joined by Johnny Luchador, host of the Rad Show here on D'toid, and our favorite artist Long John (check his awesome art in the article gallery). We talk...

I was recently visited by the 2015 version of me. Aside from living in a cardboard box behind Denny's and eating scraps and live rats, he also still reads video game news. He broke into a rich guy's house, stole a time machine (they have ...

So it's about 11:30 where I am, which means Christmas is almost over, and I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't pen a proper review for the much-loved holiday. So here it goes: Gameplay: The holiday relies mostly on gift-...

This week we have a Fugu Fiesta, name our experimental music groups, and I sing a Foster the People song so I don't have to talk about tomatoes. Good Stuff, y'all! Cast: Benny Disco, Zombie Orwell, and Occam's Electric Toothbrush Logo...

In my last blog post, I described 5 franchises that would be a better fit for Telltale Games than "Game of Thrones." Now I have 5 more that are even better than those. This is not up for debate. These are objectively better ideas that Te...

Our first podcast! This week we discuss the complexities of the universe and the far-reaching consequences of president Obama's policy decisions... Just kidding! We talk about butts and penises and Donnie Iris and The Cruisers. Good time...

At awkward-fest 2013 AKA the Spike Video Game Awards, Telltale games confirmed the rumors that they were making a game based off of the popular Game of Thrones TV show (as opposed to the A Song of Ice and Fire novels that the show is base...

So they're actually doing it. Persona 4 is getting a dancing game spin off. To me, this sounds ingenious. Take characters from a well-known franchise and make them dance for our amusement. Brilliant! It got me thinking though: What other...

Animal simulators are a pretty rare genre to come across. The first that comes to my mind is Mister Mosquito: a game that simulated flying around as a mosquito and drinking the blood of humans. All that sexy blood! A few more I can thi...

So earlier today I watched Jim Sterling's "Squirty Play" of Barbie Dreamhouse Party (seen here). The whole video was basically Jim forcing himself through the game's monotonous tasks while on powerful painkillers (he recently got a wisdom...

So the console launches came and went, and we're left with a bunch of forgettable ruggedly-handsome white guys again (and a robot made of toblerone). We also got some shiny new rubble to stare at while we shoot things and maybe some orang...

Okay, I'll admit it. I don't see the appeal of a lot of popular franchises. It's a mystery to me. Trying to enjoy Madden is like being a birthday clown at an adult birthday party, I wouldn't be able to fit in and enjoy myself like everyon...

Ah, the Holidays! That magical time of year when Krampus rounds up all the bad boys and girls and takes them to his lair to roast them alive! What a wonderful time! Sadly, the holidays can be a dangerous and tiring time as well, so to he...

I've been spending some quality time with my 2DS lately and there's something that I really like about it. I feels like a Nintendo console, with that distinct fun feel to it. It's a toy-like game system, but not toy-like enough to be a ga...

About Benny Discoone of us since 9:53 AM on 03.24.2013

My name is Benny. I work full time in a freak show eating live chickens, and I work part time as Brendan Fraser's scrotum cleanser.

I play video games sometimes, but most of the time I'm too poor and don't have enough free time. I still like talking about them though.
